Mode of drug action

Quetiapine fumarate belongs to the class benzisoxazole derivatives. Quetiapine fumarate acts as an antagonist at dopamine D1 and D2 receptors and adrenergic alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors. Its antipsychotic activity is due to antagonism at the D2 receptors in mesolimbic pathway and 5HT2A receptors in the frontal cortex. Antagonism at D2 receptor relieves positive symptoms while antagonism at 5HT2A receptors treats negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
